In any case, the Gnuplot command to overlay another plot onto the existing plot(s) is "replot" For example the Gnuplot commands plot sin(x) replot cos(x) The above will first plot the sin(x) and then plot cos(x) on the same graph In octave the same sort of thing is achieved by: a = linspace(-10,10, 100); b = sin(a); c = cos(a); plot (a,b) hold plot (a,c) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael W.
